Full Job Description

Pono Pacific Kitchen is hiring for a skilled and passionate Line Cook to join our dynamic back-of-house team. If you are enthusiastic about utilizing fresh, locally sourced ingredients, thrive under pressure during a heavy dinner rush, can deliver elite quality at high speeds, and want to learn directly from an exceptional Executive Chef, this is the perfect opportunity for you.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

Highly Competitive Pay: Earn between $22.00 and $26.00 an hour, plus tips.
Guaranteed Back-to-Back Days Off: Say goodbye to unpredictable schedules. We are closed every Monday and Tuesday, giving you a set two-day weekend to rest and recharge.
Major Holidays Off: Spend the important days with family and friends! Our restaurant is closed on Easter, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.
Real Career Growth: We believe in promoting from within. You’ll receive direct culinary mentorship and have clear pathways to advance your career.

What You Will Do

Prep, cook, and plate dishes with precision, strictly adhering to our elevated standards even at peak ticket volume.
Collaborate efficiently with the BOH crew to deliver a high-speed, high-energy, and flawless dinner service.
Master your timing on the line to ensure dishes are executed quickly without sacrificing presentation or temperature.
Maintain a pristine, fully stocked, and highly organized workstation from prep time through closing.
Strictly follow all food safety, health, and sanitation protocols.
Confidently accommodate on-the-fly allergy requests and dietary modifications without slowing down service momentum.
What We Are Looking For

Experience: At least 2 years of professional line cook experience (experience in a busy, high-volume, or fine-dining setting is highly preferred).

Speed & Focus: The ability to move fast, multitask, and keep your composure when the ticket machine is humming.
Schedule Availability: Must be able to work Wednesday through Sunday from 1:00 PM (or 2:00 PM) until 10:00 PM. Weekends and some holidays are required.
Great Attitude: Highly coachable, eager to expand your culinary toolkit, and open to constructive feedback.
Culinary Passion: A detail-oriented mindset with an uncompromising dedication to flavor profiles, plating consistency, and overall excellence.
